The Kingdom of Norway announces that it is providing 2.6 million US dollars in emergency humanitarian aid to those affected by hunger in South Sudan.
The donation to South Sudan is part of 4 million US dollars that will be shared with the Caribbean nation of Haiti through the World Food Programme.
In a press statement, Norway says the influx of over one million refugees from Sudan due to the conflict there, combined with a resurgence of internal conflict in South Sudan, has made the situation critical in parts of the country.
It adds that the extremely dire humanitarian situation in South Sudan is the result of a politically driven crisis.
According to Oslow, the country’s situation is further worsened by the obstruction of effective delivery of humanitarian aid by imposing restrictions that violate humanitarian principles. As of 9 July, Norway’s total humanitarian aid to South Sudan for 2025 amounts to 14.5 million US dollars or NOK 147.7 million.
